1 Contacts: Investor Relations Media Relations Derrick Nueman Jeffrey Weir Sloane & Company TIVO ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR 2007 ENDING JANUARY 31, 2007 Service and Technology revenues increased 22% year-over-year to $57.4 million in the fourth quarter Net loss was $18.7 million in the fourth quarter, compared to a net loss of $21.1 million in the year-ago quarter Adjusted EBITDA loss was $14.2 million in the fourth quarter, compared to a loss of $19.9 million in the year-ago quarter TiVo-Owned subscriptions increased 16% year-over-year to end the year at 1.7 million Amazon Unbox on TiVo officially launched and now broadly available ALVISO, Calif. March 07, 2007 TiVo Inc. (NASDAQ: TIVO), the creator of and a leader in television services for digital video recorders (DVRs), today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, Tom Rogers, CEO of TiVo said, Fiscal 2007 was marked by a tremendous amount of progress in differentiating TiVo from generic alternatives and aligning TiVo with numerous companies to weave TiVo solidly into the future of the media world. Key Fiscal Year 2007 Highlights: Made significant progress on TiVo s mass distribution strategy as the Comcast product entered trials and the Company signed an agreement with Cox Communications; Established TiVo as a leader in providing broadband content directly to the television set, by introducing numerous broadband content initiatives, including the announcement last month with Amazon, providing the only TV-centric approach that brings broadcast, cable and broadband together; Launched a number of distinctive features, including the TiVoCast service, which enables the delivery of broadband content and home movies on TiVo DVRs, TiVo KidZone, Guru guide recommendations and TiVo Product Watch; Unveiled the TiVo Series3 High Definition Digital Media Recorder, considered by many retailers to be the first successfully-launched CableCard consumer electronics product; Signed comprehensive advertising deals with the world s largest advertising holding companies including, Interpublic Media, WPP s GroupM network of agencies, and Omnicom Media Group s OMD and PHD business units, as well as deals with leading television advertisers, including General Motors, BMW, Lexus, Sprint, HP, and Nintendo; Announced deals with CBS, International Creative Management, NBA, Reuters, New York Times, CNET, BellSouth, Verizon Wireless, Rhapsody, among many others, adding -1-

2 to the list of significant companies, such as Yahoo!, Intel, and Sony, that have aligned themselves with TiVo in developing their future relationship to the television world; Extended the agreement with DIRECTV for an additional three years, allowing TiVo to continue to receive subscription fees for the existing 2.7 million DIRECTV TiVo subscriptions; Established an international distribution deal with Cablevisión Mexico, the largest cable operator in Mexico City; Strengthened TiVo s intellectual property position with a trial court victory against EchoStar in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Texas. For the fourth quarter, service and technology revenues increased 22% to $57.4 million, compared with $47.0 million for the same period last year. TiVo reported a net loss of ($18.7) million and a net loss per share of ($0.19), compared to a net loss of ($21.1) million, or ($0.25) per share, for the fourth quarter of last year. Adjusted EBITDA loss was ($14.2) million, compared to a loss of ($19.9) million in the year-ago period. Adjusted EBITDA excludes stockbased compensation, interest income, depreciation and amortization. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA is included below. Mr. Rogers continued, TiVo made substantial progress in the fourth quarter in achieving a number of major milestones that will help set the stage for a strong 2008 Fiscal Year. Key fourth quarter and recent announcements include: Announced Amazon Unbox on TiVo, a feature that provides TiVo subscribers with the ability to rent and purchase movies and television shows from leading studios and networks including Fox Entertainment Group, Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios Home Entertainment, Warner Bros. Entertainment, Lionsgate, CBS and just today we added Sony Pictures. This is a major step in making premium broadband content available to consumers. The feature recently launched and is now available to all TiVo subscribers with a broadband connected TiVo box. Made significant progress towards the commercial deployment of the TiVo service on Comcast, which was demonstrated at this year s Consumer Electronics Show to rave reviews. The TiVo service on Comcast is expected to be available in the near-future in its initial commercial market. Established an international distribution deal with Cablevisión Mexico, Mexico City s largest cable operator. Announced joint alliances with Music Choice and Rhapsody, which will provide TiVo subscribers access to the leading digital music services and a library of millions of songs and videos on their televisions sets, turning the TiVo service into an on-demand music service. Signed co-marketing deal with Earthlink that will distribute TiVo as part of a package with Earthlink s broadband Internet product. The Earthlink deal is TiVo s second distribution agreement with a major DSL provider. Announced Starcom as the first media agency to purchase a subscription to the TiVo Stop Watch ratings service, a new offering from TiVo which provides the industry s first comprehensive second-by-second program and commercial ratings research service designed to better understand time-shifted viewing. -2-

3 Made significant progress in the advertising business including the launch of Program Placement. Advertising revenues increased relative to the year ago fourth quarter and contributed to an increase in ARPU on a year-over-year basis. In the fourth quarter, TiVo-Owned subscription gross additions were 163,000, increasing overall TiVo-Owned subscriptions to 1.7 million. As expected, TiVo reported a net decline to 2.7 million DIRECTV TiVo subscriptions during the period as DIRECTV deployed fewer TiVo boxes and as there was continued churn of existing DIRECTV TiVo subscriptions. Cumulative total subscriptions as of January 31, 2007 were up slightly from last quarter to 4.4 million. Mr. Rogers continued, In addition to the many important partnerships and differentiated features we put in place over the course of the past year, we devoted significant attention in Fiscal 2007 toward testing several different approaches designed to measure how we will market and price the TiVo service. Our objective has been to increase not only the size of our subscription base, but also the value of each new subscription brought on. In addition, we ve increased our efficiency with the expansion of sales coming from the online channel. Also, we increased the number of subscriptions pre-paying for a three-year commitment, and in so doing, have taken in upfront cash at levels equivalent to what our lifetime subscription program had contributed. During the fourth quarter we introduced at retail stores the concept of a free TiVo unit after mail-in rebate in connection with an increase in the price of the TiVo service, which we had successfully introduced online. These pricing and advertising efforts were centered around reducing inventory of the single-tuner product, of which we will not put much focus on in the future. We learned the concept of a free after mail-in rebate offer in retail is not as compelling as a free online offer and there are clear limits to using subsidies to grow volumes in retail. Given these results, and our great success in differentiating the TiVo service over the last year, particularly with the introduction of a premium content offering, we believe the time is right to shift emphasis away from such extensive hardware subsidies and instead move toward greater advertising and brand marketing, which is the most effective way to both grow subscriptions and enhance our financial position. Going forward, our goal will be to grow subscription levels on a more efficient basis. We recently reduced the hardware box subsidy and plan to continue to reduce those subsidies over the course of the year. We are also focused on building a broader brand value proposition through advertising the unique and distinctive elements of the TiVo service. We ve engaged The Kaplan Thaler Group, an advertising firm which has had great success enhancing the value of other major brands. This approach is expected to enable us to develop an operating budget that will get us significantly closer to Adjusted EBITDA break-even for Fiscal Year 2008 at gross subscription addition levels similar to those achieved in Fiscal Year As TiVo enters Fiscal 2008, we believe there are five engines that will drive the Company s momentum in the coming year that didn t exist last year. First, delivering broadband content directly to the television becomes a reality this year through our deal with Amazon, as well as through our other broadband content features such as TiVoCast, Home Movies via OneTrueMedia, which provides friends and family a private channel to view personal content through their TiVo service, and the TiVo -3-

4 Desktop autotranscode functionality, which gets internet video off of the Web and displays it on the TV set. Second, our mass distribution strategy becomes a reality as the TiVo service on Comcast product is expected to launch in its initial market in the near-future and Cox is targeted for initial market availability later this year. Third, we came out of the holiday season with the full attention of our retail partners focused on the important role that TiVo can play in their goal to offer bundles of High Definition television products and services to consumers. We will be highly focused this year on launching a lower-priced, mass appeal High Definition product. Fourth, for the first time, TiVo plans to advertise throughout the year with a far more extensive effort to educate the market on TiVo s superior brand and the service s highly differentiated features. Fifth, we believe our financial model will move us significantly closer to Adjusted EBITDA break-even for Fiscal Year 2008 and substantially improve the perception of the Company s long-term financial prospects. Along with the growing momentum in our advertising sales business and the opportunities internationally, we believe these five engines will demonstrate that TiVo has the tools in place necessary to grow TiVo s subscription base and solidify our critical role within the media landscape in Fiscal Year 2008 and beyond. Management Provides Financial Guidance Steve Sordello, CFO of TiVo said, It is TiVo s goal to continue to invest for long-term growth, while improving our bottom-line performance. To that end, we plan to continue to invest aggressively in our product while transitioning from hardware subsidies to a more advertising driven approach toward subscription acquisition. We expect this will lead us to get significantly closer to Adjusted EBITDA breakeven for the full-year Fiscal This goal assumes TiVo- Owned gross adds roughly equivalent to last year and accounts for current expectations related to litigation costs and currently expected R&D levels. For the first quarter of Fiscal 2008, TiVo anticipates service and technology revenues in the range of $57 million to $58 million, a net loss of $4 million to net income breakeven, and an Adjusted EBITDA profit of $1 to $5 million. This financial guidance is based on information available to management as of March 7, TiVo expressly disclaims any duty to update this guidance. Management s guidance includes Adjusted EBITDA, a non-gaap financial measure as defined in Regulation G. TiVo has provided a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss in the attached schedules solely for the purpose of complying with Regulation G and not as an indication that EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA is a substitute measure for net loss.

9 TIVO INC. OTHER DATA Net loss $ (18,708) $ (21,086) $ (46,952) $ (36,999) Add back: Depreciation & amortization 1,944 1,757 7,759 6,345 Interest income & expense (1,423) (898) (4,716) (3,070) Provision for income tax EBITDA (18,170) (20,214) (43,857) (33,660) Stock-based compensation 3, , Adjusted EBITDA $ (14,191) $ (19,877) $ (29,145) $ (33,275) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Results. TiVo s "EBITDA" means income before interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. TiVo s "Adjusted EBITDA" is EBITDA less expense for stock-based compensation. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles, which we refer to as GAAP. TiVo s EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA results are calculated by adjusting GAAP net income to exclude the effects of items that management believes are not directly related to the underlying performance of TiVo s core business operations. A table reconciling TiVo s EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income is included with the condensed consolidated financial statements attached to this release. We have presented EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA solely as supplemental disclosure because we believe they allow for a more complete analysis of our results of operations and we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are commonly used to analyze companies on the basis of operating performance, leverage and liquidity. In addition, because of the variety of equity awards used by companies, the varying methodologies for determining stock-based compensation expense, and the subjective assumptions involved in those determinations, we believe excluding stock-based compensation enhances the ability of management and investors to compare our core operating results over multiple periods. We do not use stock-based compensation expense in our internal measures. A limitation associated with these non-gaap measures is that they do not include any stock-based compensation expense related to hiring, retaining, and incentivizing the Company s workforce. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to represent, and should not be considered more meaningful than, or as an alternative to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. TIVO INC. OTHER DATA Subscriptions (Subscriptions in thousands) TiVo-Owned Subscription Gross Additions Subscription Net Additions: TiVo-Owned DIRECTV (91) 173 (155) 1,013 Total Subscription Net Additions ,363 Cumulative Subscriptions: TiVo-Owned 1,726 1,491 1,726 1,491 DIRECTV 2,718 2,873 2,718 2,873 Total Cumulative Subscriptions 4,444 4,364 4,444 4,364 % of TiVo-Owned Cumulative Subscriptions paying recurring fees 58% 51% 58% 51% Included in the 4,444,000 subscriptions are approximately 165,000 lifetime subscriptions that have reached the end of the 48- month period TiVo uses to recognize lifetime subscription revenue. These lifetime subscriptions no longer generate subscription revenue. -9-

10 TIVO INC. OTHER DATA - KEY BUSINESS METRICS TiVo-Owned Churn Rate (In thousands) (In thousands) Average TiVo-Owned subscriptions 1,672 1,388 1,584 1,269 TiVo-Owned subscription cancellations (62) (38) (194) (144) Number of Months TiVo-Owned Churn Rate per month -1.2% -0.9% -1.0% -0.9% TiVo-Owned Churn Rate per Month. Management reviews this metric, and believes it may be useful to investors, in order to evaluate our ability to retain existing TiVo-Owned subscriptions (including both monthly and product lifetime subscriptions) by providing services that are competitive in the market. Management believes factors such as service enhancements, service commitments, higher customer satisfaction, and improved customer support may improve this metric. Conversely, management believes factors such as increased competition, lack of competitive service features, and increased price sensitivity may cause our TiVo-Owned Churn Rate per month to increase. We define the TiVo-Owned Churn Rate per month as the total TiVo-Owned subscription cancellations in the period divided by the Average TiVo-Owned subscriptions for the period (including both monthly and product lifetime subscriptions), which then is divided by the number of months in the period. We calculate Average TiVo-Owned subscriptions for the period by adding the average TiVo- Owned subscriptions for each month and dividing by the number of months in the period. We calculate the average TiVo-Owned subscriptions for each month by adding the beginning and ending subscriptions for the month and dividing by two. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating churn and caution that our presentation may not be consistent with that of other companies. Subscription Acquisition Costs (In thousands, except SAC) (In thousands, except SAC) Adjusted Adjusted Sales and marketing expenses $ 16,666 $ 10,637 $ 42,522 $ 35,047 Rebates, revenue share, and other payments to channel 14,835 19,167 47,767 47,027 Hardw are revenues (35,074) (32,266) (88,740) (72,093) Cost of hardw are revenues 43,534 38, ,212 86,817 Total Acquisition Costs 39,961 36, ,761 96,798 TiVo-Owned Subscription Gross Additions Subscription Acquisition Costs (SAC) $ 245 $ 164 $ 265 $ 196 Subscription Acquisition Cost or SAC. Management reviews this metric, and believes it may be useful to investors, in order to evaluate trends in the efficiency of our marketing programs and subscription acquisition strategies. We define SAC as our total acquisition costs for a given period divided by TiVo-Owned subscription gross additions for the same period. We define total acquisition costs as the sum of sales and marketing expenses, rebates, revenue share, and other payments to channel, minus hardware gross margin (defined as hardware revenues less cost of hardware revenues). We do not include DIRECTV subscription gross additions in our calculation of SAC because we incur limited or no acquisition costs for new DIRECTV subscriptions. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating total acquisition costs or SAC and caution that our presentation may not be consistent with that of other companies. -10-

Management reviews this metric, and believes it may be useful to investors, in order to evaluate the potential of our subscription base to generate revenues from a variety of sources, including subscription fees, advertising, and audience measurement research. ARPU does not include rebates, revenue share and other payments to channel that reduce our GAAP revenues. Additionally, under the accounting policy for our bundled sales program, revenues associated with these bundled sales transactions, which were previously recognized as hardware revenues, are now being recognized in service revenues. As a result, you should not use ARPU as a substitute for measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes it is useful to consider this metric excluding the costs associated with rebates, revenue share and other payments to channel because of the discretionary nature of these expenses and because management believes these expenses are more appropriately monitored as part of SAC. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating ARPU and caution that our presentation may not be consistent with that of other companies. -11-

12 We calculate ARPU per month for TiVo-Owned subscriptions by subtracting DIRECTV-related service revenues (which includes DIRECTV subscription service revenues and DIRECTV-related advertising revenues) from our total reported service revenues and dividing the result by the number of months in the period. We then divide by Average TiVo-Owned subscriptions for the period, calculated as described above for churn rate. The above table shows this calculation and reconciles ARPU for TiVo- Owned subscriptions to our reported service and technology revenues. We calculate ARPU per month for DIRECTV subscriptions by first subtracting TiVo-Owned-related service revenues (which includes TiVo-Owned subscription service revenues and TiVo-Owned related advertising revenues) from our total reported service revenues. Then we divide average revenues per month for DIRECTV-related service revenues by average subscriptions for the period. The above table shows this calculation and reconciles ARPU for DIRECTV subscriptions to service and technology revenues. For Fiscal 2007, pursuant to the most recent amendment of our agreement with DIRECTV, TiVo now defers a portion of the DIRECTV subscription fees equal to the fair value of the undelivered development services. Otherwise, the recurring subscriptions fees in this agreement are similar to the fees for the DIRECTV receivers with TiVo service activated since
